Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson believes Mohamed Salah will not be a one season wonder.

The Liverpool ace, who joined from Roma last summer, bagged 44 goals in his debut campaign for the Reds, and Hodgson thinks there is every chance he can repeat his exploits this season.

"There's no doubt in my mind that he will be good this season because of the qualities he possesses," said Hodgson.

"But of course for him and his club, people will keep cranking up expectations and that's not a great thing to have to deal with either for the player or the club.

"You're playing against players who cost a lot of money, players who have a very strong pedigree, players whose technical ability is very good, whose physical capacity is good.

"I don't know that you can necessarily stop them for 90 minutes from getting anywhere near your goal - that might be too strong an objective.

"But we hope we can keep them quiet enough for us to get enough of the ball and cause them enough problems to get a result in the game, it really isn't more complicated than that."
